Wattie Karate Learn to defend yourself by learning traditional Shorin Ryu Karate!

08/19/2026

I have two thoughts on this. First, martial arts training has value precisely because it is hard. We learn and grow through accomplishing hard tasks. If it were too easy, it would have no value. Second, sometimes life gets in the way of training. That is ok. Many of us have had to change the intensity with which we trained or attended classes because of school, work projects, other pursuits that conflict for time, or family needs. Martial arts are supposed to enhance your life, not become a cult. If you had to take a break and want to get back, our doors will always be open to you. And, as an oh-by-the-way thought, this image shows a younger kid, but the same applies to older students. We love our adult students. Even if it has been 10, 20, 30, 40, or more years since you trained, you can always reengage. You might be surprised at how quickly the skills will come back.

As a bodyguard to three Ryukuyan (Okinawan) kings, and the chief martial arts instructor, he was the first to cross train for a comprehensive fighting system: White Crane kung fu, Okinawan Te, Japanese Jigen Ryu sword school and others.

Dojo Kun, Rule Number 4:
"Slow down, Concentrate, Practice"

Practice as the masters did. With patience, from a calm place. Mastery can only come with time and of course, a willing Uke 😉.
